Goose Creek 2012 Election Results

Results aren't available online yet for Berkeley County, but several area media outlets are in Moncks Corner watching the results come in.

9:30 p.m.: The Post and Courier reports that Kent Murray is in the lead in early precinct reports from Hanahan.

WCIV, ABC News 4, reporter Mike Wadsworth is reporting Yes 4 Schools is leading in the school bond referendum.

8 a.m.: Drove by Westview precincts. They've consolidated the three into one building. The line was long, but no worse than it was for primary day. Of course, the weather was nicer in June!

7:30 a.m.: We bumped into Rep. Joe Daning in between visiting polling places. He said the line at Goose Creek City municipal center was wrapped around the building.

7 a.m.: More than 150 in line at Goose Creek Primary. One voter told us that it was a welcome change to the last presidential election — they were voting at Goose Creek High with other precincts and the line snaked through the entire building. Five hour wait. "First time I'd seen the whole school. Had to visit the bathrooms, too!"
